I think what iello has tried to do with the 2nd edition Power-Up Expansion is to try and simplify things (going forward).As it stands now, the new Power-Up Expansion will work for you if you own either the 1st or 2nd Edition of the base game.
Is this likely to make you happy - no.
Is this what they initially promised - no.
Is it good value to re-purchase the 2nd edition - no.
But I can see the logic in what they did.
Now, I really like KoT. And similar to another poster, I have bought the 2nd edition even though I already owned the 1st. My original version will find a new home with a non-gaming friend who needs something to entertain the nieces / nephews when they come for a visit (less the Kraken and Cyber Bunny - those I'm keeping for myself).
So yeah, maybe more $$$ went to KoT than would have been ideal. But I've wasted a lot more money on other stuff that didn't bring me nearly as much enjoyment.
